Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a significant challenge in gynecologic oncology, particularly in the context of platinum-resistant disease. Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), was approved after trials revealed favorable response and survival outcomes. MIRV targets folate receptor alpha (FRα), a cell-surface receptor that is overexpressed in EOC and has been associated with aggressive disease phenotypes.

The somatic BRCA1 or BRCA2 Pathogenic Variant (PV)/Likely PV (LPV) from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is the most important biomarker for PARP inhibitor use and maintenance-targeted therapies. A discrepancy in the detection rates of BRCA1 and BRCA2 PV/LPV was identified among the NGS platforms. The objective of this study was to compare the somatic BRCA results from two distinct platforms using the same cohort and to identify the causes of these differences.

Functional analyses are the main method to classify mismatch repair (MMR) gene variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). However, the pathogenicity remains unclear for many variants because of conflicting results between clinical, molecular, and functional data. In this study, we evaluated whether whole exome sequencing (WES) could add another layer of evidence to elucidate the pathogenicity of MMR variants with conflicting interpretations.

The diagnosis of a common cause of chronic pelvic pain can be made by visualizing reflux in the ovarian veins. Fluoroscopic venography is the gold standard for diagnosing ovarian vein reflux, but it is an invasive technique that exposes patients to ionizing radiation. MRI, with its lack of ionizing radiation and capability of high-temporal and spatial-resolution vascular imaging, has the potential to provide similar diagnostic information.
